  1. Very Pleased to see the much awaited Tejas formation..

    Hope things will be in order to our own TEJAS in future….:-) 🙂

    Thank you Dear Aroor-ji for the pic…

  2. It is a wonderful sight indeed! Hope ADA, HAL and all those dedicated people involved will put in extra effort to make the LCA a potent fighter feared by India’s enemies.

  3. Great picture work……. they are flying too close to ground……. I’m waiting to see the LCA fly past in Aero India’09.. I also expect some Maneuvers from LCA………

  4. @ Tejasway: There are 7 prototypes(TD-1,TD-2, PV-1,PV-2,PV-3, LSP-1, LSP-2) of Tejas in flyable condition.

    So two are missing the show. The photo shooter could also be a LCA if PV-5 is flying.

    Thanks Shiv for this pictures.
